Operation Coup d'Fat

OK, Katie. I have been shamed into this again. Talk about taking a major hiatus! I haven't counted points since early September, and I'm relatively sure I was subsisting solely on fast food through the entire production period of the winter play. This is no good, and I'm perfectly aware of it, too. The last time I got on a scale, I was up 8 or 9 pounds from what I was at the end of the summer. I'm sure I've gained at least another 5 of that back. Now, focusing on the positive, that's still a total loss of 20-ish pounds since June, but gaining so much weight in so little time is part of a larger (hah! no pun intended) issue I've been trying to control for years.

I'm not going to beat myself up over the "reward time," but it's time to move on now. And despite the terrible food I've eaten, I'm still down 10 pounds (as of yesterday morning), or 4 pounds (as of today). What is with my weight fluctuations?! I mean, I know yesterday was Thanksgiving, but 6 pounds?? I'm sure all the fat I ate hasn...
